Rockin' The Rookery Cafe

Recently I got a text message from a very good friend which read something like this:

Bought Valentine's Cafe, can you redesign it?

"Ummmmm, whaaaaaaatttt??? AWESOME!!!!" was my reaction -

It's not every day that a cafe with amazing bones gets to be my design playland. Ok, it's not any day, so I was super-stoked to jump on board. I'll write a more detailed post on the re-design process soon, but right now I just wanted to say if you live in Juneau, please get your booty down there and check it out!! I mean I'm super-proud of the design, but the food is delish (try the chicken pesto calzone made by co-owner Jason) and the coffee amazing (Travis, other co-owner is more at coffee having traveled the world stalking down the best beans). They're downtown next to Shoefly at 111 Seward Street. The rename of the cafe is the Rookery (aka, a gathering place for birds or sea lions, or in our case hungry, thirsty peoples).
